Buy American

BUY AMERICAN?
...Please consider the power that you have when spending your dollars. Know that recycling your dollars when buying American Made products has a compounding effect on the US economy and the American worker. When you send your dollar overseas that dollar leaves our economy and supports another countries economy.
Spending American dollars on American products creates and saves American jobs.
America needs to keep jobs for goods here in the USA for many reasons. One obvious reason is employment. But maybe you already have a job and don't really care? Well, with the volatility in today’s economy, it brings new meaning to “the job you save might be your own”. Statistics show that for every one manufacturing job there are 6 to 10 other jobs tied to it. Wages for working Americans have plummeted 19% since 1972, in relation to the cost of living - about the same time we entered into a so-called "global economy."
America needs more than "Service Jobs". Those jobs are great, but how many of us can work service jobs and still support a good lifestyle? Most service jobs and retail sales jobs do not pay as much as a skilled labor job.
Have you thought about how other countries are developing now? They are riding the wave of our appetite for cheap goods. Our money is going to places that often times do not like us, our money is building their infrastructure, our money is building their military, our money is raising their quality of life and education. Of course, some of this is good. But what about us? We need to bring some balance back on our side.
When you buy American, the materials and labor are provided by American suppliers and American workers, who use the latest technologies and are paid a fair wage for their labor. When you buy American, you help to keep our economy strong, and you show your support for American workers (like yourself).
Take the time and research what you are buying. Many times an American made product does not cost much more but the quality is far superior. We only vote for our representatives every two or four years, but we vote with our wallets and checkbooks every day!
